Because they made up 75% of bus users, it was very effective towards anti discrimination and black people’s acceptance in the white-dominated society.

Photo Significance: Pictured at the front of the bus is Rosa Parks, a black woman who created the catalyst to an important part of the civil rights movement. This is a significant picture because she is sitting in the front, despite the law stating that black people should sit at the back, protesting against the unfair rule.]]> 2022-03-29 15:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119675608 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119711095 As black and white children were segregated into different schools based on their race, a father named Mr. Brown wanted his daughter to go to the better and more affluent white school in the neighbourhood, Little Rock Central High. By proving to the Board of Education that there was a discrepancy in quality of education between black and white schools, the court ruled that schools shouldn’t be segregated for equal opportunity, allowing black children to go to white schools.

Photo Description: The black woman pictured here is Elizabeth Eckford, one of the new students attending Little Rock high and facing the backlash from the event. This photo is significant because of the photographed anger coming from the white women in the back, representing how much controversy there was from white people worrying about “race-mixing” at schools.]]> 2022-03-29 16:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119711095 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119734300 Groups of both white and black people sat on chartered buses together as a way to protest segregation, but this non-violent movement attracted the attention of violent white mobs, leading to attacks onto the riders and lighting a bus on fire. This event now symbolizes the power everyday people hold towards extraordinary actions.

Photo Significance: As white people are pictured on the bus protesting for the freedom riders, it shows how it wasn't only black people fighting for the civil rights cause.]]> 2022-03-29 16:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119734300 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119747140 As an educated pastor, and as a leader of civil rights protests, he gave his “I Have A Dream” speech on his big “March on Washington” rally. Through his non-violent protests, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for effectively combating racism and segregation. 

Photo Significance: This picture's significance comes from the fact that it's coloured, whereas most pictures on this day are not, giving the perception to future generations that the civil rights movement was old history because of how old photos are black and white. However, by having a coloured photo of this event, it disprove that idea, getting people to confront the fact that the civil rights movement was not that long ago, as people who lived and participated during the movement are still alive today.]]> 2022-03-29 16:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119747140 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119775557 The iconic president who strongly supported the civil rights movement was fatally shot in Dallas, Texas during a motorcade procession. His death provoked the hearts of many Americans as hundreds of thousands of people attended his funeral, while also stirring up conspiracy, suspicion, and distrust in the government and their potential involvement surrounding the murder.

Photo Significance: John F. Kennedy's funeral drew millions of people, as people are pictured to be pouring past the sidewalk by the trees. The large number of people who attended his wedding shows how popular and well-liked of a president he was, and how his death touched people across the US and beyond. ]]> 2022-03-29 16:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119775557 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119781674 Malcolm X was a leader in Black Civil Rights who was assassinated at age 39, whose leadership tactics were violent and fearful. His heavy life experiences led him to have his strong Muslim faith as a minister push for his passion towards equality.

Photo Significance: Pictured here is Malcolm X at a prayer during his journey of Hajj to Mecca. This is significant because this trip provoked a new societal perspective because of Islam and the kind people from it, making his views on white people and their harm less radical than before.]]> 2022-03-29 16:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2119781674 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122304329 This was a peaceful three-part march involving Martin Luther King in the racist town of Selma held to protest the inaccessibility of voting for black people. A few supportive white ministers were attacked by the KKK, while the protest was stopped by police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge with violence, but the event received a lot of publicity and led to President Johnson signed the bill fixing black people’s issue with voting.

Photo Significance: This photo is significant because despite being a peaceful protest, police brutality still broke out against the protesters. The offensive stances from the officers and their weaponized batons explains that it was more than just crowd management but outright violence.]]> 2022-03-30 21:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122304329 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122314556 The Black Panther Party was a black rights political party that violently fought against police and civil rights through armed citizen patrols in cities across the US, however they also advocated for fair employment and held events for poverty aid. As the FBI labeled the party as a communist organization, the FBI fabricated evidence to get the party to disband.

Photo Description: Photographed here are two men from the Black Panther party armed with guns. The men having guns is significant because unlike the mainstream protests being peaceful and nonviolent, the threat of violent defense was shown through this picture’s guns representing that idea.]]> 2022-03-30 21:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122314556 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122328766 This event all started with Daniel Ellsberg leaking the White House’s confidential papers regarding the Vietnam War in an attempt to end the war, which led to then-president Nixon tapping exchanged information from the White House, and Nixon denying involvement with a break-in into the Democratic Headquarters. However, even though this statement of denial got him re-elected, Nixon later resigns because he is found out to have paid the burglars to keep quiet, and this event resulted in a rise of suspicion in both the people and government, as well as the power that media holds.

Photo Significance: With Nixon being on the front page of the New York Times, this shows how big of a deal it was, as even the smaller stories are dedicated to this event's coverage.]]> 2022-03-30 21:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122328766 shyguy14 https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122337503 The war between communist Northern Vietnam and the American-backed Southern Vietnam ended with 3 million deaths between the Americans and Vietnamese, and with North Vietnam winning. While the US fought from fear of the threat of communism, the people in the US didn’t think the US had any place being involved, and many anti-war protests took place during the war.

Photo significance: Pictured is one out of many populous anti-vietnam war protests, and with the signs in this photo showing so many different reasons yet being against the same common topic shows how powerful of a force the anti-war movement was.]]> 2022-03-30 21:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/shyguy14/4ym1eaudhmxadm90/wish/2122337503
